So my new NZXT H440 has a fan hub on the back. I am not using any fans that aren't stock with the case, but there is a cable connected to the fan hub that is large, has 4 large metal prongs sticking out, and I don't know where to plug it into.

My PSU only has mobo, perif, CPU, VGA, and SATA labeled connections on it and I don't know if there is an adaption for such things

Your motherboard should have some fan connectors (metal pins sticking up) on it. Most cases do not come with fan controllers. Which means that most of us simply plug the case fans into those motherboard connectors. Check your motherboard manual.

The power supply, if it is a quality unit, should have some 4 pin Molex connectors, and you can get adapters for those to fit almost anything. Here is what a Molex connector looks like coming from the power supply.
